San Francisco is 3-7 in their last 10 Sunday games and 2-5 in their last 7 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.
Pick
I’m backing the Giants -1.5 here. Kyle Freeland has been one of those rare pitchers that pitches better at Coors Field but I think he has issues on the road in this one. The Giants are a far cry from the team that was on a tear no more than a couple of weeks ago, but they’re the better team by a fair margin here with a significant edge in starting pitching. I think the Giants win this one by a 6-4 or 5-3 kind of score, so give me the Giants -1.5 here.
